I have a 2′ plaster cast statue of him I ran across at a flea market. It’s on a shelf over me right now. I also, somewhere, have a key ring with him on it.

The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies were full of sly jokes about music, art, science, and so on, where now cartoons have sly jokes in the form of innuendo and so on, but Marvin was the source of my favourite- the idea that he had to destroy the Earth because it obstructed his view of Venus.

Also, every new weapon I read about is immediately recorded in my mind as the latest heir of the Illudium Q-35 Explosive Space Modulator.
